Royal Academy of Arts Collections Online: Historic Books, Archives, Works of Art
We are delighted to announce the launch of the new version on the online catalogue to the Royal Academy of Arts Permanent Collections: www.racollection.org.uk
The RA Collections website enables you to search and explore the RA’s collections of paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, historic books, archives, historic photographs and plaster casts. There are specific search screens for searching the works of art, books or archive collections, or if you select Search all the Collections you can search across everything in the collection at once.
It is also possible to browse the collections via the Names A-Z and Academicians links. Clicking on the Academicians link brings up an alphabetical list of all past and present Royal Academicians. Clicking on a name in the list brings up a Member’s page containing biographical information about the artist or architect, including any posts they held within the RA, plus a list of all the works of art, historic books and archival documents relating to them in the Collection.
The Names A-Z section lists the names of all the people and organisations associated with objects, books and documents in the Collections. Clicking on a name will take you to the page that displays all the records in the Collection associated with that person or institution.
As well as searching and browsing the Collection, you can explore different themes within the Collections or find out what works from the Collection are currently on display in the Royal Academy via the Topics section.
